Should we start a support group, do you think, for 'people who feel more in control of their own destiny if they can make a car go back and forth'?

Chairs in a circle; tea and biscuits; standing up to 'share' the seedy kick I get from taking kids anywhere over two miles.

I think that Spa Angst has a not-for-profit community outbuilding we could hire.

Threadie - that's a marvellous idea. I'd like to put my tastelessness under the full glare of the headlights; to change gear and then motor through life with the roof down.

Yes. I'd like to slam on the brakes of my flawed lifestyle, put my compulsions into reverse, and turn the ignition key of extended metaphor.

And to explain to rest of the group that I feel like I'm at a crossroads but feel totally satnavless.

Threadworm - Yes, I received both. Sorry have been really busy. Look in your inbox in about 3 mins.

Arrgh no don't feel you need to reply.I was just worried that you had sent something and I hadn't acknowledged.

Am late to this but I feel I should point out that my DH spent 9 years as an ambulance driver

And YANBU - men should master impressive tools, be able to rattle off a few facts about Brunel, and be masterful when reversing and driving us back to their caves, etc

oh dear here is mp barking

this is where mastery gets you

I want to learn how to learn how to take a back seat.

at you all
esp the ignition key of extended metaphor

I want to explore dp's sump.

I want to ride on the roof-rack of life.

There is no more sombre enemy of good driving than a Britax Club Class on the rear seat.

Onebat - I'm sorry to hear your DP has sump - that must be terribly disappointing and difficult.

Honeypie, dump the sump. Come and join us for the ride of your life.

I wish I'd said the ignition key of extended metaphor.

Swedes, to say 'ignition key of extended metaphor',try using the dual controls of plagiarism.

yep, I agree with OP.

Thelma

Sump is goood.

Swedes, your frantic back-pedalling is unnecessary - throw vehicle into reverse, or handbrake turn with skidding noises will do the trick.

boiled sweet?

at least I got my rosy cheeks doing something healthy

whereas I got mine sucking sump
